State Battery Design, which, on paper, is far better than what is currently on the market. If this plays out, it could help assure Mercedes’ survival as China car companies move to world domination.

German carmaker Mercedes-Benz claims to have become the first carmaker in the world to drive a car powered by a lithium-metal solid-state battery

Mercedes has begun testing an EQS equipped with a solid state battery. It provides 25% more range than a lithium-ion battery of the same size and weight. Solid state batteries offer higher energy densities and safety benefits over traditional batteries.

Lab testing of the EQS test vehicle shows that the solid-state battery provides up to 25% additional electric range. The post Road tests start on solid-state EV battery developed by Mercedes AMG and F1 engineers appeared first on The Manual.

Mercedes is developing solid-state batteries with the aim of having the technology ready by the end of the decade.

Mercedes-Benz and American battery start-up Factorial Energy have developed a prototype EQS equipped with a solid-state battery. The companies claim it's the "world's first solid-state battery vehicle from a global OEM." It’s already out on the road doing test runs.

The emerging battery technology promises longer range, faster charge speeds, and is production feasible. Mercedes-Benz is testing a prototype EQS electric sedan fitted with a semi-solid-state battery pack co-developed with its Formula 1 powertrain subsidiary,

The German automaker has unveiled that a prototype EQS, equipped with a solid-state battery developed in collaboration with US startup Factorial Energy, has begun real-world testi

The solid-state battery race has heated up, with Mercedes bringing on a road-going prototype in the form of the EQS sedan.

The race for the “holy grail” of EV batteries is heating up. Mercedes-Benz is testing the world’s first production
